Do I have to be a member to join services? VISIT US

Visitors are welcome to our services. However, we would like all
visitors to pay respect to Jewish traditions and rituals when services
are carried out.
Anyone who is not a member is kindly requested to
contact us with your details and intended date of visit. Please
contact us at least a week before your intended visit date and it would
speed your visit if you download, complete and return a
visitor form along with a photocopy of document to verify your identity, such as a
passport or driver's licence. We also have a guide to the etiquette that applies to attendees of services.

How
do I Join the Community as a member?

Please contact our
Membership Secretary, and he will
discuss what options you should take. However, you can enrol now by
downloading the membership form, but we do advise talking to
beforehand. There are various financial decisions to take into account and once
decided, a form will be sent to you, fill it in and post it to the 'Membership Secretary' at the below address. The
new members form is then referred to our Rabbi, and he will also ask for
Jewish documents, such as the Marriage Certificate, Ketubah, to clarify.
The enrolment is then approved by Synagogue Council members. A welcome
letter is sent to you by our Administering Secretary, and
financial details are enclosed too from our Treasurer.
